To remove the front headlight of a Škoda Octavia, open the bonnet to access the grille located at the centre of the dashboard. Once this is removed, you will be able to locate the screws that secure the headlight from the inside.

By unscrewing these screws, the headlight assembly can be extracted from its housing, allowing you to disconnect the connectors at the back. Once the connectors are disconnected, you can connect the new headlight assembly, securing it in place with the corresponding screws.
